If 160 GB is too big for you (yeah right), there are also 40 and 80 GB models available. So what does this beast sport? Well its screen is 4.3 inches wide and can display up to 16 million colors, it supports most major video formats (including MPEG-4, AVI and WMV9) and battery life is rated at 17 hours for audio and 5.5 hours for video."</i><br /><br /><img src="http://www.digitalmediathoughts.com/images/504.jpg" /> <br /><br />As far as I know, this is the highest capacity portable player on the market. I think $600 is a little pricey, but since it is the only player of this size, they might be trying to eek out some extra profit. Shave a bit off the price and give the battery life a serious boost and they might be on to something.
